I do compile the Percona 8 like below but cannot find where is libmysqlclient. i can see it in 5.7.
I got issues with Xtrabackup " XtraBackup Complains of Missing perl-DBD-MySQL" and other tool like Zabbix when i compile, it always ask for libmysqlclient
Is this lib include on source package or i need to yum or compile from other souce?
Well, you need to decide if you want to compile Percona MySQL 8 and use that, or use our RPMs. Why are you compiling? Also, why would you download mysql community rpm for this library? Why not download the percona library rpm?
I want to use Percona server and yes with compile, after compile that i cannot find libmysqlclient so that is a reason why i ask for install this lib by rpm from mysql community version.
Yes, i forget Percona may have this rpm but just wonder why i cannot see this lib after compile or i need to install separately and if i do so then do it conflict to my server?
@abh I just did a compile and I found the library. I’ll have ask one of the developers why it isn’t named libmysqlclient, but I imagine it is safe to simply create a symlink and then run an ldconfig before linking against it.
after that it show error and it not allow me to gmake

If “yum” direct from Percona then i see the libmysqlclient but im not seeing any libperconaserverclient. It’s bit strange if you ask me

You are saying “Why don’t you just download the pre-compiled binaries and create a symlink to libmysqlclient”, is that means i still compile as the way i want then download client with rpm version then job done?
